<p class="bodytext">You can improve accuracy of spam detection by training the spam filter on the e-mail messages that you have in your mailbox.</p>
<p class="bodytext">To improve accuracy of spam detection:</p>
<ol class="procedurelistnumber"><li class="procedurelistnumber">On your Home page, click the domain name you need.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the <strong class="specialbold">Mail </strong>icon in the <strong class="specialbold">Services</strong> group.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the e-mail address you need.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the <strong class="specialbold">Spam Filter</strong> icon in the <strong class="specialbold">Tools</strong> group.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the <strong class="specialbold">Training</strong> tab. <p class="listcontinue">All e-mail messages you have in your mailbox are presented on the screen. Each message is accompanied by an icon in the left column, which tells if a message is recognized as spam - <img src="17581.gif" alt="" height="16" width="16" vspace="0" hspace="0" align="bottom" border="0">, non-spam - <img src="17582.gif" alt="" height="16" width="16" vspace="0" hspace="0" align="bottom" border="0">, or not recognized at all - <img src="17583.gif" alt="" height="16" width="16" vspace="0" hspace="0" align="bottom" border="0">. If you have already trained your spam filter on a message and the results were recorded in the spam filter's database, an icon <img src="17548.gif" alt="" height="16" width="16" vspace="0" hspace="0" align="bottom" border="0"> is shown in the right column.</p>
</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Train the spam filter. <p class="listcontinue">In most cases, you can tell if a message is spam by looking at its subject line and sender's name. If they do not give you any clue, try looking inside the message using your e-mail program or webmail interface.</p>
<ul class="listbullet2"><li class="listbullet2">To mark a message as spam, select the corresponding check box and click <strong class="specialbold">'It's Spam!'</strong>.</li><li class="listbullet2">To mark a message as not spam, select the corresponding check box and click <strong class="specialbold">'It's Not Spam'</strong>.</li><li class="listbullet2">To remove any information on a given message from the spam filter database, select the corresponding check box and click <strong class="specialbold">'Forget It'</strong>.</li></ul></li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Once finished with training, you can remove spam e-mails from your mailbox using your e-mail program or Horde IMP Webmail interface.</li></ol><p class="bodytext"></p>
